[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1511856, member: 85785"] I have the condition RH. Until you have the tests to confirm diagnosis, the idiopathic part will always be a guessing game. I'm not surprised at your constant lows because of the amount of carbs in your diet. I stay away from any forms of food that creates the glucose dumping that your doctor described. What is happening is you eat, your blood glucose levels rise very quickly. Your insulin response is too much for the amount of glucose in your blood. Then your blood glucose levels drop slowly but surely to near normal levels and if you don't eat then you will hypo. Because of the amount of carbs, your dumping will happen again and the viscous circle continues, hence, the amount of episodes you are experiencing. If you don't create the insulin, in other words, control your carbs and sugars, the amount of glucose imbalance will recede. I have had a similar experience to you. I don't have the problems now. Diet is key to having good control. Keep asking, because I know how awful this condition can be. Did you have a n extended OGTT (glucose tolerance test)? Best wishes. [/QUOTE]
